Vauxhall combo Van

[Todpot1992]

I don’t know a lot about mechanics so I’ve bought myself an old battered 1996 Vauxhall combo van with a non turbo 1.7 Isuzu engine. I thought I can learn on it. Is there a manual for the engine because if I type it in on Haynes it just comes up with the Opel Diesel engine

Are you sure that isn't the same engine?

I don't really think Vx will say on a manual that someone else produced the engine for them, it is the 1.7 Opel/Vx engine.

Alternatively Haynes manuals are actually not that good, on anything remotely technical they tend to just say take it to the dealer.

I think at that age the non turbo is Vauxhalls own engine, the turbo is the Isuzu engine, totally different engines to look at, a diagram should tell you which it is.

Yes I think you will need the Corsa B manual if it covers the 1.7
I have had a couple of these old vans the only van that is more reliable is the Citroen C15 !
